Hungry

A Biography of My Body
A raw, beautifully written memoir from the bestselling author of Poor that delves into the complexities of body image, self-worth, and the relentless pursuit of acceptance.

'Soaring with compassion, intelligence and hard-won wisdom. Ireland's most important contemporary voice.'
LOUISE KENNEDY, author of Trespasses

'Amazing. I couldn't put it down.'
ELAINE FEENEY, author of As You Were

'Every woman needs to read this book. Every man needs to read this book.'
EDEL COFFEY, author of In Her Place

Hungry is the powerful new memoir from Number One bestselling author Katriona O'Sullivan - a raw, courageous exploration of survival, identity and the lifelong search for self-acceptance.

Raised in a home marked by poverty, addiction and abuse, Katriona defied the odds: from teenage motherhood struggling with her own addictions to becoming a university professor and successful author. But beneath the achievements lay a more private struggle - with her body, her worth, and the unrelenting drive to be enough.

In this fiercely honest memoir, she interrogates how trauma, class and gender shape the way women see themselves - and how society teaches them to measure their value.

Told with stunning courage and vulnerability, Hungry is both a personal reckoning and a powerful reclaiming of body, voice and self. It is one woman's story - and a rallying cry for every woman who has ever felt she had to shrink to survive.
